The idea of visiting a grocery store isn’t always the most inspiring task. That is, of course, unless you happen to be stopping by Denson’s Grocery. Located in Colonial Beach, Virginia, this local institution carries an assortment of made-in-Virginia products and, most notably, features its own oyster bar. Self-described as a true Chesapeake Bay farm-to-table experience, Denson’s Grocery shouldn’t be passed up on your next trip to the coast.

Denson's Grocery is nothing short of a local institution in the Colonial Beach area of Virginia. Moreover, it's not uncommon for folks to travel several hours to stop by this delightful business.
